Intermittent Wifi Disconnection Issue
Does anybody also face this issue with Wifi where while gaming in Pubg , all of a sudden ping drops and there's loading screen icon appear on screen for 2-3 seconds.
Same happens for Wifi calling, Whatsapp calling, Normal calling. In calls sometimes I'm not able to hear the other person and vice-versa.

Wifi antenna is on the top side as when I cover that area signal becomes weak. Same when I go in an area where wifi is weak. Here also signal gets lost when I cover the top side by hand.

Great, with some caveats
My WiFI works great besides the fact that Snapchat will not work on it. I've done a ton of research and tried a ton of things to fix it and nothing has worked. I can receive snaps and view stories, but I cannot send snaps. However as soon as I turn off WiFi and go back to data, they instantly send. I know this isn't the place to ask for help, but if anyone sees this and has any ideas on how to fix this, they would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

What can I do if I lose signal with protective case on - weak signal?

[Edited]
I thought the reason why my hermes cant receive signal was because the antenna was missing. But after testing, for some reason whenever I have the battery cover on and a crystal hard case on at the same time, I can't receive any signal whatsoever. But it does receive signal with just the battery cover on, no case on. Then I tried it without the backcover, and just the crystal case and my phone receives signal. Does anybody else have the same problem as me, or is my antenna damaged sorta?

drops calls like an iPhone 4

if i hold it like a normal person would hold it, it drops calls like crazy. i find myself having to do the iPhone hold on it and it works fine. anybody else having this problem? any solutions?
Absolutely no problems here with reception and calls regardless of how I hold the phone.
I haven't dropped a single call. I even kept reception in a spot here I have dropped calls with every other phone I have ever had.

Same. Especially since Samsung has been so bad in this regard.
i think i hold the phone like most people do.. no problems at all.
I've noticed that if I hold my hand over the bottom of the backside of the phone, I will lose a couple bars. But my signal isn't that great to begin with. Never dropped a call, though.
I don't get any drop calls, I held my phone like the way it should be and no problem at all. I have the iPhone 4 also and I like the Vibrant more
I was on a call today to a land line and my call dropped 3 times while I had full signal strength. Somethings fishy. The phone was in speakerphone mode in a cradle.

I'm pretty sure that's not what this thread is about, but it does sound like an issue. I've never had a dropped call on T-Mobile, unless I went into a dead zone which only happened once. That was also like 5 years ago.
havent had any dropped calls even in my old apartment where I wasnt able to get any signal with my blackberry.
Probably a lemon, get a replacement.
My bars are all over the place when I hold it with my right hand, but I normally talk on my left and I've yet to loose a call. Sounds awesome via the speaker too.
Quit trying to be as good, or bad, as the iPhone. Jesus.
You know, I've noticed that when I press END I have a dropped call, just like the I gadget.
The Samsung Vibrant does have the antenna built on the lower left corner. If you look at disassembling process from youtube, you will find it justified.
Some do claim their Vibrant will have a similar death-grip issue when holding where the antenna is built, but so far not much ppl reported an actual drop call, just a few bars dropped which may affect the quality of the call~

Could be the fact that its too new..Almost every electronic has problems. Remember when the 360 and ps3 would litteraly explode? Same thing with this id guess
I haven't dropped any calls yet, but I've missed a few because I was holding the phone in my left hand and using the browser or typing an SMS. I will just randomly get voice mail notifications, without the phone ever ringing. When I get the notification I'll look at the signal strength meter and there will be no bars. Switching the phone back to my right hand (or setting it down) will return to full signal strength.

Couple of issues

I got a mytouch 4g for the simple fact
1)Webcam
2)Wi-fi calling
Unfortunately, I can't use the webcam really as most ppl i know don't videochat much so idk how it really works or if it works
But my wi-fi calling seems horrible. Literally it sucks.
I did a wi-fi call and the quality is even more choppy
then when I am just using the network with 1 bar or no bars showing
It cuts in and out.
Is there anything i can do to fix this?
Also,
I notice my wi-fi signal loses a bar when i hold it at the top left(like i were trying to block the sun out, if i barely have my hand blocking the phone at the top left side i will lose part of wi-fi signal
Please post questions in Q&A section.

F320L Poor Reception - need help

Any idea what is wrong with my phone ? how to fix it.
I have tested on skype, viber and found no problem.

Pie Call Problem

After Pie update, I have strange problem in calls. In call, after 3-4 seconds my voice is not received by other side, but at first 4-5 seconds, everything works and other side can hear my voice too. (When I open speakers, my mic is working again)
I tried to flash stock Pie again, installed custom roms but I can't fix this problem. Any idea about solution? (Tried modem flashing etc too)
I'm experiencing same problem. Any solution?
I have had this on N and P but i'm 100% convinced it's signal strength.
I have always have poor signal at home and the A1 shows it much higher but I don't think it is really that high, I think the A1 reports 1-2 bars as 3-4 bars and it's just a simple low signal problem, I go outside and all is fine.

Neither of the posters above are complaining, they are asking for advice and a possible fix.
This is exactly what forums are for? The Feedback app is worthless.
